  I still find your comments at odds with reality, Hibiscus. It seems you don't interact much with many people at all, other than family. Is it different on the internet? What percentage of the people on the internet do you consider evil?

  I've only met a few evil people, and I must have met thousands. At work I probably know over sixty people well enough to judge their character, and I know my neighbours, another half-dozen, my bible study group, another dozen, the five year old children in my Sunday School class, another dozen, my family over twenty. That's over 130 people I know well enough to judge their character. There's probably ten people in that whole group that I dislike, but I would not characterize them as evil.

  OK, three evil people. My ex-husband, another relative, and a former neighbour who has moved away. I kept calling the police when she beat her kid. That is 7% I dislike, 2% evil.

  I am sorry, but a country where 80% of the people are actively seeking to hurt others is in anarchy. The only place I saw anything like that was Armenia, and even then the country was held hostage by a relatively small group of thugs. In a time of chaos, ordinary people go home, protect their families, and work on survival. The vast majority of people do not support evil acts.

  I maintain you have a problem seeing people as they are.

  This place?

  Hi daystar...yes that is one of three in Dallas....if you check out http://www.unity.org/, then you can find these churches all over the world.....nearly.

  Anyways, i am not promoting this church or advertising it, but for me, this is good at the moment.

  Hibiscus ~ The more I read of your posts the more it makes me sad for you.

  I hope you realize some day that there is good in the world and yes, even in your neighbourhood.

  Peace,

  I think that's a different church though.....there are Unity churches and Unitarian churches...I'm not sure what the difference is.

  Unity is some kind of spiritualist church. Unitarians, well, they have no beliefs

  I meant 80% of the people in my area are like that and perhaps 60% of the people in my country are evil. I don’t know but the news is very bad each day. Very bad.

  Sunshine: Recently I have been going (well twice so far) to a Unity Church here in town. These people are very nice, nobody tells you what to believe, nobody judges you, they say that God is everywhere, some people that go there are still members of other churches and that is fine. Their philosophy is....there is one way, and you are on it. I like that.

  Never heard of a Unity church before. So can other religious denominations come to this church. How will they all agree if each person has a different idea?
